Trying to get a second source to confirm that Zach Galifianakis has stepped in for Jim Carrey on Jared Hess’s untitled armoured car comedy (previously known as ‘Loomis Fargo’).The action/comedy, which has been in the works for a while now, will star Galifianakis and Owen Wilson as inexperienced criminals who rob a bank – leaving a trail of evidence behind.Inspired by actual events, it’ll fix largely on a naive bank employee who decides to risk it all by teaming up with his work crush to rob their place of business. With a team of dopey accomplices, they take off with over 17 million dollars – but their amateur mission will see they don’t get away with it too easy.Emily Spivey, Chris Bowman, and Hubbel Palmer worked on the screenplay for the film. Lorne Michaels is among the producers on the Relativity production.Galifianakis and Wilson previously worked together on Matthew Weiner’s “You Are Here”.No word on why Carrey might have left the production, but it’s possible the film’s ‘action-centric’ pilot (Carrey shied away from “Kick-Ass 2″, after it’s completion, because he felt it was too violent) has something to do with it.More when we hear it.

Hmmm...if it's true, i'm not very upset. From the beginning, this was a very risky project in my opinion, that could be easily a flop for many reasons. I hope he's still starring in Ricky Stanicky, because that is project that i believe in, could be a great comedy and a box office success. I hope we'll find more soon.

Nog glad with the news. Another cancelled project that was something different. If only he woud get the chance to star and accept the role in a follow up for 'Truman Show', 'Man on the Moon' or 'Eternal Sunshine'.

Morning,I just read the article that Jim Carrey was replaced in "Loomis Fargo" . To me, that role didn't sound right for him. I'm not a producer or director. I just don't think that part in "Loomis Fargo" sounded right for Jim Carrey. That's my opinion.But I read that Jim Carrey will probably play Ripley. I'm sure he'd be great in that movie.

I think the Ripply one would or could be great only if it had a great director and producer, and a great script!!!!, Ripply would have to have some crazy personal life, with something ther no one knew about him that is exciting!!!! like he was into Magic, and some drama, like his personal life was wild and crazy, unless they have something like that it would be boring my guess, why JC had never bin in the movie, who wants to see a life of someone who lead a boring liffe off camera, has to be exciting, even if its based on a true story but. hollywood glamourized, like the 10 commandments..how or Jesus Christ Super Star. make it old time new school but not far from the truth, I dont know, what can i say??? may he rest in peace...Robert Riplley, must be some good juice on him from a reliable source that is truth,,

if at all things seem or appear to fail, just remember that 'LOVE WINS"

but but but but but!!!! there are similarities R.Ripley and Jim!!Ripley was a teenager when he was a artist journalist working for a newspaper, JC, first show he played a similar role cartoonist? ...Ripley, at that time lived through hard times being that in San Fransisco there was agreat earthquake, in 1906/? i belive it was...that left many people homeless, i am not sure if Ripley was one of them. so there is something there, he lead somewhat exciting life, had his own jet, travels, in many places around the world to get informative true news about people cultures and lots..seen one night a series of videos on him on You tube black and white, show called Rippleys Believe it or not!!! he spoke a bit boring but...i found something mysterious about him almost sinister, even looks like that too Believe it or not..ha
